Attorney Charging Teen with Desecration of Jesus Statue Had Affair in Office, Posted

–It is revealed that Bill Higgins, the Pennsylvania District Attorney charging a teen with desecration of a Jesus statue for pictures simulating oral sex with the statue, had an affair in his court office and posted porn to Twitter.

Remember that teen that pissed off a lot of lot of people because he posted a "bad image" with Jesus? Well it seems that the DA might of been a bit naughty too....

While I think that charging the kid was really stupid, he did charge him based on a law on the books since the early 1970s, and he is the District Attorney, so whatever he did outside of his office isn't relevant to his job of enforcing the laws. Having an affair and being interested in porn aren't illegal acts. I think the voters who elected him expect him to do his job and not recuse himself from every potential law violation involving anything even remotely sexual because of his own transgressions.

That said, I think what the kid did was stupid, but kids can be stupid, and I hope this one doesn't have to pay a price for his stupidity.

I agree with you again. This is getting weird. STOP MAKING SENSE!

If he was having an affair with a Jesus statue, it might be an issue. Otherwise, it's really not connected at all.

Yes, but this falls under the same catagory as laws that are no longer enforced but still on the books. Such as Texas there is still a law that says "It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing."

I really do hope this gets either thrown out or appealed. I believe it will be found this law is Unconstitutional.
